Wanted to clarify the Platform. I chose RedHat RPMs but I'm actually running Fedora Core 1 with the FC1 beta RPMs posted at KDE. I don't think it'll make a difference, but I wanted to cover all the bases: [jmccormick@rowan jmccormick]$ cat /etc/redhat-release Fedora Core release 1 (Yarrow) [jmccormick@rowan jmccormick]$ rpm -qa | grep ^kde kdepim-3.1.94-0.1 kdeedu-3.1.94-0.1 kdebindings-devel-3.1.94-0.1 kdetoys-3.1.94-0.1 kdelibs-devel-3.1.94-0.2 kdeadmin-3.1.94-0.1 kdenetwork-devel-3.1.94-0.1 kdemultimedia-3.1.94-0.1 kdenetwork-3.1.94-0.1 kdeartwork-3.1.94-0.1 kdegames-devel-3.1.94-0.1 kdepim-devel-3.1.94-0.1 kdevelop-3.0.0b2-0.2 kdelibs-3.1.94-0.2 kdegames-3.1.94-0.1 kdeutils-3.1.94-0.2 kdebindings-3.1.94-0.1 kdeaccessibility-3.1.94-0.1 kdebase-devel-3.1.94-0.2 kdegraphics-devel-3.1.94-0.1 kdesdk-devel-3.1.94-0.1 kdebase-3.1.94-0.2 kdesdk-3.1.94-0.1 kdeaddons-3.1.94-0.2 kdemultimedia-devel-3.1.94-0.1 kdegraphics-3.1.94-0.1 kdeedu-devel-3.1.94-0.1 kdeutils-devel-3.1.94-0.2 This could be the same problem as 78903. Peter. Does the problem really still presist? If so, please reopen. This problem still exists. Some further details: - I am in AST ( GMT -4:00 ) - Whenever I get a meeting request, the request does not take the timezone into account. It is added as "GMT". I have two attachments. First is a screenshot of the problem in action. The time in the body of the message is the correct time of the meeting. The time in the meeting request is being interpereted wrong. The timezone is not being taken into account. The second attachment is the actual message that is this example. Created attachment 13321 [details]

Example of problem
I can confirm this bug, yet it is rather a wishlist item from a developer's point of view. From a user's I consider it a bug in KOrganizer. KOrganizer does not set a timezone automatically. IMHO it should set the timezone it uses by default to the local one. As a result of an empty timezone in Korganizer GMT is assumend for the invitation, i.e. 15:30 for the attached email. However, if I set the timezone in KOrganizer and re-open the message, the correct time is displayed, i.e. 16:30 in my case (Berlin, Germany). I am not sure about day light saving time. If it still means that between AST and MET there is a 5 hour gap, then 16:30 is correct if there should be a 6 hour gap, there is another bug in KOrganizer. Set a timezone in your Korganizer/Calendar settings and the problem will go away. Reassigning all KOrganizer bug reports and wishes to the newly created korganizer-devel mailing list. I'm pretty sure this is the same as 64342, looking at the invitation. At least in KOrganizer from KDE 3.5.6, KOrganizer correctly detects my timezone to be CEST and uses Europe/Vienna in the config dialog of KOrganizer. Of course, this detection is only applied for a new korganizer config. If KOrganizer has already been configured (i.e. run) once, the (in the past wrongly) detected time zone is not changed, of course... Cheers, Reinhold Related to report #109756. KDE4>= correctly handles timezones. |
